2.5 stars

This one felt a bit sillier than the first in the series. I have a high tolerance for silliness, but I had to roll my eyes a little with a few things—the big deal fancy careers all the sisters have, the weird reservations Kate has about getting involved with Matthew, the repetitiveness of the fog attacks. And I’m used to a certain amount of orgasmic hyperbole in these things—people exploding and floating into the stars and whatnot—but one description in particular just was so explicit and weird, I clutched my pearls and said, “Don’t say it that way, Christine Feehan!”
I think too I didn’t warm to Kate and Matthew like I did to Sarah and Damon in the first of the series. Kate came off like a damsel in distress more than I like in my lady characters, but I recognize that was probably intentional, given why she thinks she and Matthew aren’t compatible.
I’m still curious about this series, and I do like the small town setting, the closeness of the sisters, their friendship with the sheriff, the friendships among the male characters, and of course the supernatural aspects of the plots. I also liked the interview with the author at the end. She seems like such a good egg, I don’t want to judge the series too harshly by one book or rate this one lower than a three. That’s my inscrutable code and rating system, and the secret to my success.
So, let’s see how the next one goes! Who will fall in love next‽ ( )

Great story ( )

This paranormal holiday romance started off interesting enough and I always like when the male pursues the female but the plot was pretty thin with everyone worrying about the gray fog for most of the story. I was so bored by the end I didn't bother to finish. Contractor Matt offers to renovate Kate's mill.

I love love love Matthew and Kate together they are perfect for each other. ( )
